CMA CGM joins in exploring green hydrogen from renewable power

CMA CGM is joining an innovative demonstrator project underway in Europe exploring the production of green hydrogen from renewable power, e-methane, and the reuse of captured CO2 to produce new synthetic fuels. Known as the Jupiter 1000 project being piloted by GRTgaz, the operator of France’s gas transmission network, the goal is to convert renewable

EU fasten permitting system for renewable energy projects

The Ukraine-Russia conflict is bringing Europe to expedite renewable energy expansion in the region that will just enable the European Union to end its dependence on Russian gas and oil. In a fresh development, the European Commission may propose a new framework that will fasten the permitting system for renewable energy projects in the member

Australia proposes to be a big green hydrogen exporter to Asia

In its latest budget, the federal government has promised hundreds of millions of dollars to expand Australia’s green hydrogen capabilities. Green hydrogen is made by electrolysis of water, powered by solar and wind electricity, and it’s key to the government’s “technology not taxes” approach to meeting its climate target of net-zero emissions by 2050. The

Impact of RFS on biofuels production

Capturing the interactions between biofuels and agricultural industries, and their connections with other economic activities, were keys to a first-of-its kind study at Purdue University. “This is the first comprehensive examination of market factors and policies on the expansion of biofuels production in the U.S. to examine the economic impact of these individual drivers separately,”

Germany thinks of alternative ways to replace Russian oil dependence

As Germany attempts to reduce its dependence on Russian gas, the strong fumes from manure and other organic waste on farms could act as an alternative energy source. An hour’s drive west of Berlin, a strong smell emanates from three large cylinders in the middle of a muddy field on Kaim’s property, which is shared

Germany aims to obtain 100% energy by 2035 through renewable sources

Germany aims to fulfil all its electricity needs with supplies from renewable sources by 2035, compared to its previous target to abandon fossil fuels “well before 2040,” according to a government draft paper obtained by Reuters on Monday. Europe’s top economy has been under pressure from other Western nations to become less dependent on Russian

A reactor that refines waste carbon and generates hydrogen developed by researchers

In a world faced with dual concerns about climate change and growing energy needs, developing renewable replacements for fossil fuels has been a long-sought dream. While considerable progress has been made in converting various biomaterials into usable energy in recent years, refining them in an environmentally sustainable way has remained a challenge. Now, a team

‘Focus on the future’ of ethanol, leaders say

As has so often been the case, the biofuels industry is facing some good news and some bad news from Washington, D.C., according to industry leaders gathered for the Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit. “We cannot focus on that frustration (with Washington, D.C.),” said Monte Shaw, executive director of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association. “We have

Will Oil Ever Become Truly Worthless?

Could fossil fuels and Big Oil actually become ‘worthless’ within the next few decades, and what would this mean for the global economy? New research suggests as many as half of the world’s fossil fuel assets could become worthless by 2036 if the green energy transition goes ahead at the pace projected coming out of
